Durán Vázquez is from Vigo (Galicia, Spain) and started recording his work at the beginning of 1998, using self-taught methods and without prior musical formation. His work is mainly focused on audio creation, radio-art and live performances. Occasionally he composes tracks for cinema, sound-art contests, audio collaborations and his own audiovisual pieces and covers for demos.

His herepresented album deals with ambient music style as leading motif, but also adds a socio-political component (on the music, especially the samples used, and also on the graphics). Thinking about the album title one can realize another interesting parallel...

Raw translation: “-How was the succession of tremors along this evening? -Well, at first we was relatively surprised by the first earthquake of 4.5 grades because it was very superficial and it was felt very strong. -You mean that it was very near to the earth's surface, it was no deep. -Yes, it was no deep, almost in the very surface. -Is that worse? Does it means that the tremor is felt stronger? -Yes indeed, it is. This means that with a relatively low magnitude it is felt more and there may be more damage, of course. Then there were 5 earthquakes more that we supposed them to be aftershocks, being felt one of them. And later came a new earthquake of 5.1 or 5.2 magnitude, but it was at the same place and at the same depth and this one was truly devastating. -Is it usual that first happen an earthquake of 4.some, then several aftershocks, and finally happens an earthquake bigger than that one of 4.some? -No, it is not usual. I mean, that was a bit surprising. -It is usually the opposite... -It is usually the opposite... -... a big one and then smaller aftershocks. -That is correct. The normal pattern is that this decreases, each time being fewer and smaller aftershocks.
